Chenrezig: Brief Introduction
Chenrezig, also known as Avalokiteshvara, is among the most revered bodhisattvas in Mahayana Buddhism. As the embodiment of infinite compassion, he forgoes the bliss of nirvana to assist all sentient beings. In Mahayana Buddhism, compassion is regarded with equal importance as wisdom, allowing enlightenment to be accessible to all, not just monastics.
Sacred Serenity Collection
This exquisite Chenrezig statue, crafted 15–20 years ago, carries profound spiritual and artistic significance. Made from pure copper, it is plated with a generous layer of gold, reflecting a bygone era’s dedication to craftsmanship. Unlike modern statues, where gold use is minimized due to cost, these statues were created with deep reverence and precision by artisans skilled in sacred traditions, ensuring that every posture and expression aligns with religious texts.
Full Fire Gold Plating
Adorned with authentic mercury gold plating, also known as fire gold plating, this statue exemplifies traditional Nepalese craftsmanship. Renowned for its durability, authenticity, and radiant beauty, this technique involves applying a genuine gold layer, making it superior to modern electroplating. Its resurgence in Nepal reflects a growing appreciation for heritage and meticulous artistry.
Lost-Wax System
The statue is created using the ancient lost-wax casting process, a meticulous method passed down through generations. This technique captures intricate details by crafting a detailed wax model, coating it with a ceramic shell, and replacing the wax with molten metal. The result is a highly detailed and durable sculpture, a true testament to timeless craftsmanship.
